I think it was more along the lines of, "I'm not sure I believe they're actually targeting kids." And then, "oh my God the UN has video evidence of Israel targeting peace keepers."
I don't think most people are okay with killing kids. The hurdle is getting them to realize it is happening.
I'd believe that if it wasn't for all the video evidence of them killing kids, or the fact the average age in Gaza before the genocide was already under 16.
There is a difference though, and that is that while babies tend to be in the vicinity of adults, that could potentially be terrorists, you cannot make the same assumption (if you were to actually be make it in the former case) about uniformed and distinctly marked UN-peacekeepers that have their own bases. Attacking that letter can not be collateral damage or be an attack on potential terrorists, while the former could with a lot of mental gymnastics be legitimised (though not morally justified).
And let's be real, international diplomacy is the art of mental gymnastics at olympic level.
I mean, they're just babies. How good can they really even be at murdering? I'll give em a pass. Now a couple dozen murdering toddlers with knives? At that point we may have a problem. I'm pretty sure I could still take them, but I'll probably need stitches before it's over.
You doing this barehanded? I'd at least give you a stick or something.
You give me a bat and they're going to be annihilated.
I dig your style.
I've completely lost the thread.
Israel attacked UN peacekeepers.
Multiple times, voluntarily
I mean, how do you attack someone involuntarily? Or you mean voluntarily as in not by accident?
Yeah, perhaps "intentionally instead of accidentally".
Well, it is middle-eastern babies. Not like they're white babies or something.
Hey, you're not supposed to say this out loud!
